由记忆、想象与重构结合的整体性呈现：人类学对非洲形象的创造

人类学起源于西方,被烙上了西方的社会特质与知识结构印记。人类学在对非西方社会研究的基础上获得发展,形成自身的学科命题与知识谱系。人类学以独到的方法留下了“他者”的资料,发挥了记忆性价值。其西方性特质,致使在探索“他者”时难免将西方的认知体系植入“他者”,所呈现的“他者”诚然带有想象性色彩。进入新时空,人类学力图重构“他者”。经由记忆、想象与重构的结合,人类学创造了“他者”的形象。人类学与非洲的遭遇,正彰显了此种逻辑。

Anthropology conserves the information of ＂others＂ by the dint of particular methods which plays a role of remembering.
